HarryPotter20

Harry Potter turns 20 years old, which makes me feel very old. I’ve grown up reading and watching Harry Potter, genuinely believing at one point I was had been selected to attend Hogwarts. How exactly did this happen? Let me explain. My Auntie used to work for Warner Brothers and told me of this book…

The Premier League Hokey Cokey

This season, more than ever, there has been an outcry for the sacking of managers. From Bilic to Wenger, fans aren’t happy and are making it increasingly clear across social media. Always interested in hearing what everyone has to say, I conducted some very official research in the form of two Twitter polls, taken a…

Mexico’s influence on European football

Javier Hernandez, more commonly known as “Chicharito”, secured his status as one of Mexico’s greats having scored against Costa Rica in the World Cup qualifiers on Friday.

New Year, New Venture

What a year it has been! 2016 has certainly been eventful, and 2017 brings the excitement of having absolutely no idea what will happen. Fingers crossed it’ll have a few less horrific surprises than the last 12 months though! This time last year, I had no job after travelling and was desperately looking to get…

My internet story

The internet is a funny thing, but I think I’m just about getting my head around it. From being picked on at school to hitting 50k followers on Twitter, I’ve had my ups and downs with using the internet, but wouldn’t change a thing. As a kid with a mother who hated technology, I was…

The Little Things

In a world where everything is fast-paced, it’s often hard to find time to take a second and enjoy what’s going on around you.

Player profile: Aaron Cresswell

Having joined West Ham in 2014, Aaron Cresswell signed a five year contract for an undisclosed fee, believed to be just under £4million. By early 2015, Cresswell went on to be named ‘Hammer of the Year’ and ‘Player’s Player’. In June 2015, he signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2020, with…

The most English problem

As a nation, we are known to find a reason to moan about everything. The other day, I saw a video of a baby with an incredible head of hair, having it blow dried. The hairdryer was clearly on a cool setting, and the baby was loving life. I went on to the comments to…

Mystery Tourists Flock to UK Village

Bewildered residents recently sought to solve the mystery behind coachloads of Asian tourists appearing in their village, with absolutely no explanation. The village of Kidlington, located five miles North of Oxford is not a popular destination. In fact, not many know it exists. That was at least, until this week. Coachloads of tourists have been appearing…
